The Biological Survey of The PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT N.J. Hall and A.V. Milewski Climate The Sandstone-Sir Samuel and Laverton-Leonora Study Areas have an arid climate with cool winters and hot, dry summers. Rain falls in both the wann and cool seasons of the year. The climate has been classified as very dry and hot with the possibility of precipitation in any month (BWh), according to the classification of Koppen (Dick 1975). Following the Thornthwaite System, which is preferable to the Koppen system for Australian conditions (Gentilli 1948), the climate of the Sandstone-Sir Samuel and Laverton-Leonora Study Areas is Arid Mesothermal, with rainfall deficient in all seasons. Alternatively, the climate is Desert (UNESCO-FAO 1963), according to the system of Bagnouls and Gaussen (1957). Beard (1974, 1976) describes the Study Areas as Desert with bimodal (summer and winter) rainfall distribution. A number of weather stations, concentrated in the eastern half of the Sandstone-Sir Samuel Study Area, have records of daily rainfall over a long period of time: Mt Samuel (from 1900), Leinster Downs (1902), Sandstone (1904), Booylgoo (1922), Mt Keith (1927), Yeelirrie (1928), Albion Downs (1936), Agnew (1948) and Yakabindie (1961). Long-term temperature records are only available from Yeelirrie (13 years) and Booylgoo (11 years) (Bureau of Meteorology, Australia 1988a). Long-term rainfall data for the Laverton-Leonora Study Area are available from recording stations at Leonora (from 1898), Laverton (1899), Erlistoun (1907), Weebo (1930) and Windarra (1971) while long-term temperature records are available from Leonora (28 years) (Bureau of Meteorology, Australia 1988a). Temperature The average monthly temperatures for 1977-1981 and the long term mean for the Sandstone-Sir Samuel Study Area are shown in Figure 6. Mean annual temperature in the Study Area is approximately 29°C. The average maximum temperature for each month ranges from 37°C (January) to 18°C (July) while the average minimum temperatures range from noc (January) to 5°C (July). Recorded extremes of temperature are 45.8°C and -5.l o C (Yeelirrie) with frosts frequently experienced during winter. The average monthly temperatures for 1977-1981 and the long-term mean for the Laverton­ Leonora Study Area are shown in Figure 7. Mean annual temperature in the Study Area is approximately 28°C. The average maximum temperature for each month ranges from 38°C (January) to 18°C (July) while the average minimum temperatures range from noc (January) to 6°C (July). Numerous frosts are experienced during winter with the recorded extremes of temperature being -1.1 °C and 47.8°C (Leonora). Rainfall Average annual rainfall is approximately 21 0-235 mm in the Study Areas. The rainfall is bimodal, with peaks in summer and winter, and unreliable, with a large variation between annual totals. The other important aspect of rainfall is the localised nature of falls across the Study Areas. During winter, the light falls (associated with the passage of cold fronts originating to the south of Western Australia) decrease from south-west to north-east.

These three different types of precipitation differ in their effectiveness for plant growth (Milewski 1981). Winter frontal rains occur fairly reliably each year but are light and usually ineffective for the growth of all plants other than herbs. Summer convective rains are intense but brief. Rainstorms derived from tropical cyclones and epitropical storms are intense, prolonged and effective for the growth of woody plants. Since tropical cyclones occur only a few times each year in the Eastern Goldfields, the effectiveness of the most frequent precipitation events is limited by its intensity and duration. Sporadic heavy falls of 20 mm or more can be expected to occur three times per year on average. This leads to large differences between mean and median rainfall, particularly in the late summer months when all rainfall is convective or tropically derived (Bureau of Meteorology, Australia 1988a). Annual rainfall across the Sandstone-Sir Samuel Study Area ranges from 235 to 207 mm with records from Sandstone (235 mm), Mt Samuel (223 mm), Yeelirrie (223 mm), Booylgoo (221 mm), Albion Downs (220 mm), Agnew (220 mm), Mt Keith (218 mm), Leinster Downs (215 mm) and Yakabindie (207 mm). There is a marked difference between highest and lowest annual rainfall records: Sandstone (78-697 mm), Mt Samuel (52-536 mm), Yeelirrie (116-507 mm), Booylgoo (96-608 mm), Albion Downs (66-503 mm), Agnew (78-499 mm), Mt Keith (41-526 mm) and Kathleen Valley (74-472 mm). The mean monthly rainfall for 1977-1981 and the long-term mean for the Sandstone-Sir Samuel Study Area are shown in Figure 6. During the biological survey of the Study Area (1979-1982), annual rainfall was exceptionally good in 1980, with above average rainfall recorded at Sandstone (370 mm), Booylgoo (356 mm), Agnew (286 mm) and Yeelirrie (274 mm). Substantial monthly totals of rainfall (40 mm or more) were recorded in February 1979, May-July 1980 and December 1981 (Figure 6). Annual rainfall across the Laverton-Leonora Study Area varies from 243-203 mm with records from Windarra (243 mm), Weebo (233 mm), Leonora (224 mm), Laverton (222 mm) and Erlistoun (203 mm). Highest and lowest annual rainfall totals range from 91-517 mm (Leonora), 67-454 mm (Laverton) and 57-552 mm (Erlistoun). The mean monthly rainfall for 1977-1981 and the long-term mean for Laverton-Leonora Study Area are shown in Figure 7. During the biological survey of the Study Area (1979­ 1982), annual rainfall was above average for 1980: Leonora (361 mm), Windarra (315 mm), Weebo (279 mm) and Laverton (277 mm). Substantial monthly totals of rainfall (40 mm or more) were recorded in February, May and July (Figure 7). Evaporation Average annual evaporation varies from 3200 to 3600 mm across the Sandstone-Sir Samuel Study Area, and 3600 mm to 4000 mm across the Laverton-Leonora Study Area (Bureau of Meteorology, Australia 1988b). Radiation The average daily radiation of 600 mWh.cm2 across the Sandstone-Sir Samuel and the Laverton-Leonora Study Areas grades from a high of 850-900 mWh.cm2 in January to 400­ 450 mWh.cm2 in July (Bureau of Meteorology, Australia 1988b). 12 Geology The geology of the Sandstone-Sir Samuel Study Area has been detailed by Tingey (1985) and Bunting and Williams (1979) while Gower (1976) and Thorn and Barnes (1977) covered the geology of the Laverton-Leonora Study Area. Data on the landforms, regoliths and soils of an area incorporating portions of both Study Areas were included in Churchward (1977). Both Study Areas form part of an extensive plain of great age, developed on Archaean rocks, which has not suffered mountain building or glaciation for the last 30 million years. Eroded into this plain are portions of several ancient, shallow river valleys. The topography of the Study Areas is generally subdued, with a maximum relief of less than 200 m. The characteristic undulating relief of 6-30 m also includes depositional plains, formed by internal drainage systems, with a relief less than 15 m (Campbell et al. 1975). The Sandstone-Sir Samuel Study Area falls within the Salinaland physiographic division as defined by Jutson (1950) while the Laverton-Leonora Study Area lies at the eastern edge of these salt lakes. The physiography of the Study Areas is related to the underlying rock types. Gneisses and other granitic rocks of the Yilgarn block form the main bedrock type over most of the Study Areas. In the Sandstone-Sir Samuel Study Area, these are interrupted by several oblong tracts of layered intrusions, roughly aligned in a north-south direction. These intrusions incorporate a complex series of meta-sedimentary and meta-igneous rocks that include metabasalt and banded ironstone. The meta-sedimentary and meta-igneous rocks have formed gently undulating plains at a slightly elevated level, or else abrupt, long, steep-sided hills. In the southern portion of the Laverton-Leonora Study Area, where the bedrock is metamorphic rather than granitic, the landscape tends to be higher and more undulating.

    VERTEBRATE FAUNA N.L. McKenzie, lK. Rolfe and W.K. Youngson Background The philosophies underlying our approach to this vertebrate survey, the sampling strategy adopted, and the actual methods we employed are described in Biological Surveys Committee ofWestern Australia (1984). Specimens representing the array of reptile and mammal species encountered in the Sandstone-Sir Samuel and Laverton-Leonora Study Areas during our survey have been lodged in the Western Australian Museum within the following series of register numbers: R62735­ 62872, 70827-70877, 78545-78585, 79000, R114956-1149570, 114983-114985; M20395, 20396, 20404-20409, 20420, 20421, 20424, 20425, 20427, 20428, 20446-20448, 20461­ 20463, 20815, 20816, 20821-20823, 20825-20830, 20832-20834, 20837, 20838, 20840, Table 2 Faunal survey of the Sandstone-Sir Samuel (Wanjarri) and Laverton-Leonora (Erlistoun) Study Areas: sampling dates and methods*. 1.

  • The Biological Survey of the Eastern Goldfields
    ABSTRACT The Sandstone-Sir Samuel Study Area IS located between latitudes 2TOO'S and 28°00'S and longitudes lI8°30'E and l200 45'E. The Laverton-Leonora Study Area is situated between latitudes 28°00'S and 29"OO'S and longitudes l200 45'E and I23°00'E. The two Study Areas are adjacent, and have a similar climate, geomorphology and biota. Ten landform units are recognized in these Study Areas. The most extensive are Sandplams and Broad Valleys. Salt Lake Features, Calcareous Plains bordering salt lakes, and Undulating Plains are prominent in both Study Areas. Small areas of Dunefields, Breakaways and Granite Exposures are scattered throughout the Study Areas while Hills and Drainage Lines occur largely within Undulating Plains. The main vegetations are low woodlands of Acacia aneura (Mulga). Eucalyptus species with an understorey of hummock grasses (Triodia) are dominant on deep sands. Tall and low shrublands occur in limited areas, generally in association with salt lakes and dunes. Although the Study Areas lie within the Austin Botanical District, the eastern sections of both Study Areas are strongly influenced by the Helms Botanical District (Great Victoria Desert). Their known vascular flora comprises 7 species of ferns and 777 taxa of flowering plants, including 303 taxa recorded from Wanjarri Nature Reserve. Exhaustive floristic lists for 31 sample sites, representing most of the Study Areas' surface lithologies, are included as an appendix. No species of Declared Rare Flora were recorded withm the Study Areas. Vertebrate species were surveyed in two survey areas, one in each Study Area. The 6 sites sampled in the Wanjarri survey area represent surface types high in the landscape, whereas the 8 sites sampled in the Erlistoun survey area represent surfaces lower in the landscape.
